Does this have a hole for an amplifier---if not can the guitar be heard in a med. living room with about 15 people gathered around?

The Yamaha C40II guitar is not equipped with a built-in microphone or amplifier pickup. However, a pickup can be attached to the bridge. If the 15-member audience is quiet, courteous and attentive, this classical guitar will clearly be audible in a medium-sized living room without the need for amplification.

It is an acoustic guitar and does not have a port or any pickups and hence cannot be amplified electrically. You can however add a microphone to the guitar body if you like. That apart if the people gathered are quiet. They should be able to hear no problems. You might consider a larger bodied metallic strings acoustic guitar though, if you just want to strum along with songs. :) Hope this helps.

No. This unit has no amplifier. It is designed to be installed in a rack system or used with a home theater system so an external amp is necessary.

Yes, it definitely can. In fact, it is louder than my acoustic ukuleles when played without an amp. It has a different tone than regular acoustic ukuleles but it sounds great in it's own way. Hope that helps. :)

No, in fact, there are no electronic pick- ups in this guitar, and therefore, no way to use an amp. It is strictly acoustic.

There is a 1/8" red/white stereo input jack. Sorry I don't know the technical terms. I use a Y cable from my phone or laptop headphone port to play music through the amp. I'm sure a mic would work as well.

There's a "guitar in" on the front panel. In the back is "headphones out", RJ45 "pedal" jack and "CD/Mic in" mini jack. The 150 units have two speaker out jacks (L/R) as well.

That depends on what you use it for. If it's your new end table, or dinning room center piece, then the answer is no. Now if you use it as a speaker for listening to music and such, then yes, some sort of powered amp will be necessary. Otherwise it would have a hole in the rear for you to sing, talk, or make noise through.

It dose fine for me. I play both in side bars / clubs and outside events. Most of your loudness is adjusted on your amp or the mixer board. It doesn't have a volume control on it. But I haven't had any problem with it. I plan on getting another one for my 12 string.

There is a specific AmPlug version for a bass guitar (my wife has one). You could probably get a signal through this version, but the filtering etc would be wrong.

Yes there are several aftermarket sound hole and soundboard pick ups that I imagine would fit, but the way more important question is WHY would you want to amplify such an awful sounding instrument.

It's plenty loud for household use and doesn't distort.Not a BOSE unit.FM radio in a rural area stinks, no antenna. ..But! If you want volume without distortion you want, buy a cheep used guitar amp (20/30 bucks) with a 8 or 10 in speaker..Then buy an adapter wire with a male 1/8 in. stereo plug on one side and a 1/4 inch. mono plug on the other side .Plug the 1/8 stereo plug into your source and the other mono into the input of the amp. be sure not turn up the volume on the source so loud or it will distort..Then use the amp. volume to play it as loud as you wish.I used that hook up in my garage..

Yes there is a spot for it. It is surround sound so not sure if you want to? Maybe if you are interviewing but it has great pickup if the sound around it!

It is not loud. When I play live and plug in to the same D.I. box that other players have been using, my guitar can't be heard. I have to tell the sound person to boost my gain considerably, then it works. It seems a preamp is necessary.

Yes, you can play the guitar without disturbing people in the hotel. It's a bit louder than an electric solid body but it won't be loud enough to be heard outside the room.

No, just an electric guitar amp. I'd recommend getting a small, inexpensive amp. After you play a while and get a feel for it you can get something bigger and better.
